摘要: 为改善单一半导体粉体材料的光生电子-空穴分离和回收能力,基于功能协同效应,采用共沉淀法,将Fe3+/Fe2+盐在一定浓度的氨水作用下制备出纳米Fe3O4,并分散于含有溴化十六烷基三甲铵(CTAB)的正辛烷中,提供Br–的同时,在室温下与水溶液中的硝酸铋和柠檬酸相互作用,利用非互溶体系,制备出Fe3O4-BiOBr;最后,将Fe3O4-BiOBr分散于含有赖氨酸的氧化石墨烯水溶液中,通过一步水热法合成Fe3O4-BiOBr协同修饰的磁性石墨烯气凝胶(Fe3O4-BiOBr/Graphene)。样品的晶体结构、形貌特征和催化活性通过XRD、Raman、XPS、SEM、TEM、UV-Vis光谱等综合测试技术进行了表征分析。Fe3O4-BiOBr/Graphene复合材料中的Fe3O4呈类球状,尺寸约10~25 nm,均匀镶嵌于BiOBr片层中间,并与石墨烯之间相互作用,整体呈现球-片-空洞构造。Fe3O4-BiOBr/Graphene复合材料显示出良好的可见光吸收性和Cr(VI)还原活性,30 min内可去除Cr(VI)至100%,高于单一组分的磁性Fe3O4,这可能与Fe3O4-BiOBr异质结构、石墨烯导电材料的引入及Fe3O4-BiOBr/Graphene三者之间良好的界面相互作用,有效地促进了光生电子与空穴的分离效率有关。Abstract: In order to improve the photogenerated electron-hole separation and recycling ability of single semiconductor powder material, based on the functionally synergistic effect, magnetic graphene aerogel (Fe3O4-BiOBr/graphene) modified by Fe3O4-BiOBr had been facilely prepared by one-step hydrothermal process by dispersing Fe3O4-BiOBr composite in aqueous solution of graphene oxide containing lysine. The Fe3O4-BiOBr composite was synthesized in non-miscible solvent system under room-temperature, in which nano Fe3O4, firstly prepared by co-precipitation method using Fe3+/Fe2+ salt under the action of ammonia water with a certain concentration, was dispersed in n-octane containing hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) for providing Br–, interacting with an aqueous solution containing bismuth nitrate and citric acid adding drop by drop. The crystal structure, morphology and catalytic activity of the samples were characterized by XRD, Raman, XPS, SEM, TEM, and UV-Vis spectra. Fe3O4-BiOBr/graphene composites, in which spherical Fe3O4 with a size of 10-25 nm are evenly embedded in layered BiOBr flakes, and they interact with graphene, overall, have showed a sphere-sheet-cavity structure. Fe3O4-BiOBr/graphene composites have favorable visible light absorption efficiency and Cr(VI) photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic activity of Cr(VI) could achieve about 100% within 30 min, which is higher than that of single magnetic Fe3O4. This phenomenon maybe origin from the introduction of Fe3O4-BiOBr heterostructure and conductive graphene as well as their good interfacial interaction within them, effectively promoting the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes between Fe3O4-BiOBr/graphene composite.
